        Verdict

        Arena's Dream is taken to get the better of Soccerjackpot and Gold Hush in a fair quality affair. From the family of Lammtarra, Gold Hush commands respect as he makes the journey North from Sir Michael Stoute's yard. She has run creditably in two allweather starts and must go close here, as connections look to pick up a win which would be invaluable for breeding purposes. Soccerjackpot hails from a yard that threw up a big price winner at Newcastle on Monday, and he has run well on both his starts to date, which have been at this track. He hails from a speedy family, and may find this trip stretches his stamina. Arena's Dream has been running well in some competitive races, belying his starting price with a great run to be fourth at Nottingham, and then hitting the frame in a more competitive affair at Epsom last time. He is clearly an improved performer this term, comes from the Chester Cup winning yard, and Arena's Dream can upset the likely short priced Stoute runner.
